AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL SYNOPSIS:

A computer glitch causes a passenger space shuttle to the moon to head straight for the sun. Can Ted Striker save the day and get the aircraft back on track - again?

 

There’s a mad bomber on board, the first lunar shuttle is about to self-destruct, the engines are not working, and—worst of all—the flight crew discovers they are completely out of coffee! It’s the high-flying lunacy of Airplane! all over again as Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty fly totally out of the ozone to recreate their hilarious original roles. The crew of crazies includes Sonny Bono, Lloyd Bridges, Raymond Burr, Chuck Connors, Chad Everett, Peter Graves, William Shatner, Rip Torn and many others. Can Hays save the day again—without caffeine? Fasten your seatbelts for a ride you’ll never forget—Airplane II: The Sequel.

OUR FILM REVIEW

The all-new HDR/Dolby Vision Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative is remarkable. Kino Lorber has become known for a grand level of respect when it comes to their upgrades of older films such as this one. Airplane II is a prime example of the quality they put out. The transfer is beautiful and refined for a title that hasn’t gotten a lot of love over the years in previous home video releases. The quality of the image is sharp, clean, and without any hints of scratches or blemishes on the negative. The color reproduction and contrast levels, because of the Dolby Vision encoding, are deeper in their details, far more textured, resulting in a truly wonderful image far beyond what we’ve seen before. It is free of any sort of digital alterations or DNR to remove grain.  Airplane II: The Sequel, in its 4K UHD iteration, is near a perfect transfer as you can get.
